About the role

AlphaGov is seeking a Labor Market Information / Skills-Gap Study Lead for project-based analytic engagements with workforce boards, state workforce agencies, regional councils, and related public employers. You will design and deliver discrete labor-market, skills-gap, occupational-demand, and workforce-risk studies - producing decision-ready findings for public clients. This is analytic consulting (methods + applied interpretation), not job placement, training delivery, or staff augmentation.

What you'll do:

Design LMI / skills-gap study scopes, data plans, and analytic frameworks
Analyze occupational demand, supply, wages, credentials, and regional workforce risk using public and administrative data
Translate findings into employer- and policy-relevant recommendations
Produce clear written reports, briefings, and optional board/WDB presentations
Partner with AlphaGov evaluation SMEs when program-impact questions overlap
Contribute methods appendices and technical narrative to AlphaGov proposals

Requirements

Required: 5+ years labor-market analysis, workforce research, regional economics, or related public-sector analytic work- Demonstrated experience delivering skills-gap, occupational, or LMI studies for a WDB, state agency, regional council, or comparable public client- Strong quantitative methods literacy and plain-language writing- Ability to cite concrete past public projects (agency, role, year)

Nice to have:

WIOA/WDB familiarity
Python/R/Stata or advanced ExcelPrior consulting/subconsulting
Experience pairing with program evaluators

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
